BETHPAGE, NY — Julie Morris has joined Kravet Fabrics Corp. as Vice President of Sales. She reports to John Dull, Executive Vice President, Sales. Morris will follow a trail blazed by Susan Lorenz, a 29-year veteran of Kravet who retired in February from full time work but continued part time for a few months after. “Susan has been with Kravet for 29 years and has been an extremely important component in our growth over the years in both our furniture division as well as the expansion of our showroom network and showroom sales,” says Cary Kravet, President. “Given her years of experience, the knowledge she has of our products and the way she effortlessly interacts with our employees, sales people and customers, Susan is truly a ‘one of a kind’ and will be very missed. I know she is looking forward to spending more time with…her growing number of grandchildren and we hope she has many years of health and happiness doing just that.”
